About this space

Located on the eastern edge of Melbourne’s CBD, Jolimont House offers a premium and welcoming setting for corporate and private events, complete with sweeping city skyline views and the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground at its doorstep.

The Conservatory is a versatile, fully customisable event space designed to suit a wide range of occasions, from elegant, seated dinners and vibrant cocktail receptions to boardroom meetings, networking events, and professional training sessions. Flexible room configurations include full table dining, cabaret-style seating, and standing event layouts, allowing the space to adapt seamlessly to your event vision.

Guests can enjoy roaming canapés or self-service grazing stations, creating a relaxed and interactive experience, while the adjoining terrace provides panoramic views across the MCG and Melbourne Park sporting precinct. Combining contemporary styling, premium facilities, and personalised service, The Conservatory delivers a polished and memorable event experience from start to finish.

Please note: due to licensing restrictions, The Conservatory at Jolimont House is only available for corporate events. Unfortunately, we’re unable to accommodate private celebrations such as birthdays, engagements, baby showers, or private parties in the space.
